So, his fans are still worried if Dhoni will continue playing in IPL or not. Recently, ahead of the RCB clash, he attended an event. There, he was asked about his retirement plans. In reply to that, MS Dhoni said: “There’s a lot of time to take that call. Right now we have a lot of games and the coach will be under pressure if I say anything. I don’t want to put pressure on him."
